Antelope os gorgeous and the Navajo are great people.

But let me ask you: wasn’t that tour the most touristy thing you’ve ever done in your life?

Felt really cool bs’ing with the guides they were all cool but damn the tour needed a little bit more history or something. got really sick of just being told “yo this is a really cool photo spot” every time I rounded a corner.

Our guide in the lower canyon was very good about the geology and history. The upper canyon guide wasn’t as in-depth but yeah he took some good photos of my family.

I’ve been twice in the last year (brought 2 different friends) and the tour guides were awful. Nice, but awful. They barely knew anything about it, and 100% made up most of it. One tour guide said a certain rock formation was called one name, the other said it was called another name. No consistency.

I went on this tour and it’s literally a photography tour to recreate Peter Liks famous pictures.

Everybody ends up with pictures like this. I’ve got a bunch too.

“See these holes? They are from when the Indians and cowboys were fighting.”
“Notice how there are no more cowboys?”

I enjoyed our guide - he had a good sense of humor.
